Just watched the piece about Mullins horses having a spin round Leopardstown yesterday. Interesting that Bryan Cooper ride Don Poli who ran around with Vautour, Ballycasey and one other (forget who it was now) and Poli was doing his usual just enough. Vautour made a couple of jumping errors. Then Don Cossack went out with No More Heros and Don Cossack and Cooper rode NMH. He says he's undecided on his GC ride but a hint that he'll ride Don Poli (Davy Russell rode DC in his work).

Cue Card got a run out at Kempton but whilst these work outs are just that and not too much to put any stock in when Paddy Brennan was interviewed by C4 he was literally buzzing talking about Cue Card. Again I don't think it means too much he obviously knows what a good horse he is but nice to hear he is in good form and looking primed for the biggest race of his career.

I am getting more and more involved with CUE CARD for the Gold Cup and am failing to see, on form why he is not favourite for the event. A few have said he has had a tough season and it would be an immense training performance for Colin Tizzard to have maintained fitness to complete that quadruple but I just can not bet against it

Obviously agree he should be fav and if trained by a certain W. Mullins I think he would be. However confidence does seem to be slowly growing. The best price of 7/1 a few weeks ago has gone and best price now is 6/1 with Paddy Power and Boylesports. He's even shorter with a few other firms at 11/2 and I suspect on the day he'll be another point or so shorter.
